Refer to numerical input in 'Other' option to radio list was created by FranzGerbig
Hi folks,

how may one refer to the number typed into the 'Other' input box added to a radio list?
e.g.
Have moved to another town since the last interview?
No,
Yes, once
Yes, several times: _ _

Later questions and sub-questions I need to filter depending on the number put in before ...

Some idea?

Hi,
if I understand correctly you can refer to this input with:
Code:
{Q1_other}

... and is there a way to define a maximum for that input?

There is no question validation equation for list-radio questions. I think the easiest solution would be to have a separate numeric question for the "Other" amount, displayed with relevance. Then you can place a "Maximum value" value on it.

I hoped to be able to avoid this (default) way around :(

You may use a workaround with a hidden numeric question. It is not as comfortable as with the default input with other, but maybe it is good enough.

1) add a new question directly after the option list question
2) question type for this new question is numerical input. There you can define a maximum.
3) in the option list question:
a) option 'other' -> off
b) add this code to the questiontext (with click on Source):
Code:
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">  
$(document).ready(function() {
 
    // Identify the questions
    var q1 = $('#question'+{QID}+'');
    var q2 = $(q1).nextAll('.numeric:eq(0)');
 
    // Hide the numeric question
    $(q2).hide();
 
    // Move the hidden numeric input into the option list
     $('.label-text:last', q1).append($('input', q2));
 
    // Some styling...
    $('input', q1).css({
      'width': '20%',
    });
        });
</script>
c) in the 'edit answer options' add your text in the third option ("Yes, several times:")



Should work with 2.50 and at least the default template.

Edit: I guess you have to mention in the question text or anywhere else, that there is a maximum for the input.

great, but only works with both questions on the same page (not with question by question-format of the survey) :unsure: , right?

I think you are right.
Due to the design, yes. I never use question by question, sorry.

Sorry, I need to go back again:

May it be a condition/part of relevance equation that a respondent selects the _other option but doesn´t enter any number into the field? Like ...
q1_other == "Y"
or sth like that? As I'd know, he/she did it several times (just not how many times) the case would still be valid/useful for some of the following questions.
Put clear? :huh:
